Whipping Up Some Coffee Cards

One of my favorite new bundles from the 2017-18 Annual Catalog is the Coffee Cafe Bundle! I decided to create an over-the-top, technique filled card with it for a recent swap with my friend Marlene! The idea that I came up with was to create a special background using the new Marbled Background Stamp and the emboss-resist technique. For my embossing, I used three different colors of embossing powder -- Gold, Copper, and Clear -- randomly sprinkled onto my background stamped image and then heated. Then, I sponged on Early Espresso Ink over the embossed image. The background turned out so neat, I didn't want to permanently cover it up, so ended up creating a tri-fold card that would show it off. Here's how that turned out:
